Ipoh is a coastal Malaysian city midway between Kuala Lumpur (2 hours) and Penang (90 minutes).
Ipoh marks the point where the road from the Cameron Highlands meets the coast, meaning that most visitors touring the west coast of Malaysia pass through Ipoh.
Ipoh is rapidly emerging as a tourism destination in Malaysia due to it's heritage buildings, rich culinary scene and surrounding natural attractions. The location midway between KL and Penang also makes it a great option for a stopover.
There are a few attractions in this scenic area of limestone hills, but The Benjaran Hotsprings Retreat has given good reason for considering a stopover.
This luxury wellness retreat offers the chance to break up the overland journey through Malaysia and enjoy a couple of nights or longer in one of the very few health and wellness retreats in Malaysia.
